The medical gas delivery system used traditionally is the nasal cannula, delivering 1-6 liters of medical gas per minute, but this has now been supplemented in part by the High Flow nasal cannula. The ...

Objective To determine whether high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygenation can reduce the incidence of hypoxia during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with obesity. Design Multicentre, ...

A nasal cannula is a medical device used to provide supplemental oxygen. Learn about what to expect from one.

Objective High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is increasingly used in preterm infants despite a paucity of physiological studies. We aimed to investigate the effects of HFNC on respiratory ...

Capturing ROX index during the first 12 hours of high-flow nasal cannula therapy for acute hypoxic respiratory failure yielded favorable sensitivity and specificity values.

This patient gets one point for having a SpO2:FIO2 ratio less than 292 but greater than 220, although calculating this statistic bedside for a patient on supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula comes ...

Another study involving 10 healthy subjects compared aspirated gas samples of both open and closed-mouth breathers from the tip of a nasal cannula resting in the nasopharynx. The study concluded that ...

The NBs breathed adequately heated and humidified medical gas through the specifics of high-flow nasal cannulas. All three devices delivered heated and humidified medicinal gas mixtures (oxygen + ...
